There is no need to repost english-translated image, i can translate it by myself
The message says: "error: format failed. Here there are some messages from mkfs.ext3". I guess that u are right, there is an error in the command of format
What can i do? No other had this problem installing knoppix 3.6 on hd?
I haven't had that problem.Originally Posted by karplus
Configure the hdinstall again, but this time save it as a file, then post the contants of the file here.
(BTW unless you don't plan on installing anything, knoppix isn't the best to install, its unstable and you may not be able to install new programs.)
try IGNORE_CHECK=1 sudo knoppix-installer
Here is my config-installation file>

I can't edit it because the root "/" is in read mode only. I tried to wrote hd_ignorecheck=yes knoppix-installer but i get an error "check failed for hd_choice".
I know that knoppix comes from debian ma i guess that it's too difficult for a beginner... what other distribution u suggest? i prefer that it's as most as similar to knoppix...
Thx
